Miracle Babies supports NICU families in three ways: The Financial Assistance Program (FAP) helps families in need with costs related to extended NICU stays of three weeks or longer. With this assistance (which covers such expenses as transportation, parking, gas, groceries, hospital meals, overdue bills and care for older children), parents are able to spend more time with their vulnerable infants.

In addition to critical financial support, our Miracle Hours provide a unique opportunity for NICU parents to get together, share concerns and feel the support of peers who understand the intricacies and challenges of having a baby in the NICU. Often parents struggle with feelings of isolation, causing anxiety and depression at the precise time their baby needs them most. Facilitated by Miracle Babies staff and a hospital social worker, these gatherings build camaraderie in a safe and healing environment. Miracle Babies also distributes MB Cares Bags, containing essential items and resource materials to aid and comfort families during their baby’s NICU stay.
